Dear readers of Publish0x, I want to discuss here some implication of the Internet's actual state of affairs and what BlockChain technology can do to help us all. That's really important.
We all trust, and love, the Blockchain here, because it promises to free us from large private enterprises,
istitutions, banks and, in some way, gouvernaments. But what we can (re)gain is also the, forgotten, value of our privacy.
I'm reading a book about how and who is making enourmous amounts of money with our private data, we freely give them. I don't want to make pubblicity for this book, so I say only that it speaks about this new way of making capitalism, centered around users data.
Our data is often extracted from the experiences we do in our real life, without a full understanding, from the consumers, of what's going on. This is, of course, intentional. The main capitalists of Surveillance Data are Google, FaceBook, Twitter, Instagram, Amazon, Apple etc..etc..
They couldn't reach billions people if we were to pay for those services.
Soon or later, an alghoritms created by one of the above giants will decide upon our life's possibilities: if we are good enough for a job, for a loan, to be invited at a party, if we are free to travel and so on.
Up to now, they are limited to the task of understanding what we like, so as to offer matched ads, services and content as close as possible to the single user; but the obvious prosecution of this it the task of forcing us to like what they offer: it's simply much simpler and efficient.
They will suggest us what we should do in our everyday life, in more and more subtle ways.
One of the few escamotages I can think of is to DECENTRALIZE, and only blockchain technology can achieve this.
Bitcoin: decentralize gold
Ethereum: decentralize finance
PreSearch: decentralize web Ads revenue (can't understand why presearch is not mainstream yet) (link)
Several social-media platforms based on blockchain exists already, decentralizing revenues from social interactions.
Think about how animals and plants work: there is a small motor, the mitochondrion, in every single cell...
